Rockstar has revealed it's set to bring the fourth game in its Midnight Club series, titled Midnight Club: Los Angeles, to PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2008.

Developed by Midnight Club stalwarts Rockstar San Diego, the new title promises to deliver an "addictive blend of freedom, style and sheer sense of speed sets it apart from its competition", according to Rockstar's founder and executive producer Sam Houser.

What's more, Rockstar hopes to evolve its street racing franchise "on all possible levels and stay true to the hardcore gaming experience the series is known for, while making it accessible to casual gamers and car enthusiasts". So says Jay Panek, producer of the Midnight Club series, at least.

"With Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Rockstar San Diego looks to once again push the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be," noted Houser. "Rockstar San Diego has always been the technology leader in delivering the ultimate racing experience and with this game they are looking to re-define the idea of a completely immersive racing game experience, both offline and online."
